The Brazilian player will play out his contract until 2024 with Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal and then promised he will move on to a new destination
Neymar could be leaving Al-Hilal soon if you believe the promise the player has reportedly made recently about his future.
The news has been reported in Brazil by the media outlet UOL, where journalist Gabriela Brino has confirmed what his destination will be for next season when his current contract with the Saudi Pro League team expires.
Neymar’s fleeting visit
The Brazil international returned to Vila Belmiro to watch Santos in the final of the Paulista Championship against Palmeiras.
It was a quick visit where the footballer took the opportunity to speak to the masses and be seen by the fans who saw him take his first steps as a professional player.
Whether it is because of his sentimental attachment to the club or because of the good time he had when the stands chanted his name to the chant of “Ole ole ole ole, hello, come back home, Neymar!”, but Ney seems to have it very clear.
Before kick-off, Neymar went down to the dressing room to give a speech to all the players in the squad. It was at that moment that the player revealed his intentions with a member of the board of directors.
Neymar’s speech
Apparently, according to UOL, after greeting all the players one by one, the footballer revealed his intentions so that they would not lose their concentration on the final match: Neymar wants to play for Santos again.
The information has caused a stir in the country, but the player himself did not want to deny or confirm when he left the stadium. Neymar did not answer the questions of the journalists present and it was his advisor who explained to the press that “they could not give an exclusive because he had not met with anyone from the press”, according to the Brazilian media.
The reception for Neymar on his return home
Neymar received a standing ovation on his return home. The Santos fans in the stands thanked him for his presence before the match when he offered the cup to the crowd and later when he settled into his position to watch the game.
It is an image that the Alvinegros fans are already dreaming of and that the country’s press are starting to talk about: seeing Neymar wearing the Santos shirt again.
